Emma looked at Agent Bell blandly, eyes weary and wary in roughly equal measures. Then she sighed. "I don't eat much, so a starter would probably be wasted on me, but help yourself." That wasn't an elf thing. Elves could--and needed to--wolf down food with the best of them. All her elfiness gave her was that it was significantly harder for her to starve to death, a fact which had come in handy many times in her life, and continued to come in handy now, when she had such difficulty eating.
"You didn't fetch my files?" she asked dryly, looking up at him over the edge of her own menu, though she'd known what she would order before she even walked in. "I'm sure you have clearance for them." Despite herself, she found herself eyeing the dessert section. They had pies. A selection of pies.
They had a mini dessert sampler.
Maybe she could come back later and try it. She tore her eyes away from the page. "I've been working for the CAF for just over six months. Getting the job, as you can imagine, was a challenge." She let the glamour over her long, pointed ears fade long enough to make her point, then brought it back. "And yes, I enjoy my work. Enough that I'm fairly distraught over the sudden attention of both the Brigadier General and the Commander General, especially in such a negative light." She tapped idly on the corner of the menu. After the Commander General took over, the hiring policies of the CAF suddenly got a lot less human-centric, although they remained far over-represented, statistically speaking. She doubted that was a coincidence.
She'd hoped that her first meeting with him would be something a lot more neutral and a lot less 'he definitely suspects me of a serious crime.' "What about you, Agent Bell?" she asked, despite the fact she already knew the basics, having done what research she could in a few hours with little actual clearance. "You must be a much more interesting person, given that standing in your presence was enough to garner so much suspicion on my part."
